The local panel sits above the adjust panel because it decides what those sliders act on; below it, a photographer would set an exposure and only then discover which scope it landed in. Selecting a layer re-scopes the existing controls to that layer's chain — there is no second set of sliders, and there must not be, or every operation added to `ops/` would need a local twin. The overlay is drawn over the canvas rather than blended into the render, because it is a diagnostic and not an edit: it must not reach the histogram, an export, or the texture handed to the compositor. Nearest- neighbour always — the map's values are *names*, so smoothing between region 4 and region 9 invents a colour belonging to neither and softens exactly the edge the overlay exists to show. Picking gets its own touch area above the pan handler. Panning wants press-drag-release and picking wants a click; interleaving them in one handler is how a drag ends up selecting a region the user was scrolling past. Shift is tracked as window state because a TouchArea's click carries no modifiers. Three states a layer can be in are worth distinguishing, and each has a different remedy: stale needs re-segmenting, "no adjustment yet" needs a slider moved, and the ordinary case needs nothing said. A bare selection renders nothing and looks identical to a broken mask, which is the first thing a new user will hit. Known rough edge, commented where it happens: segmentation blocks the UI thread for about half a second. Moving it to a worker needs the develop session — GPU resources behind a RefCell shared with every callback — to be reachable from another thread, which is a restructuring rather than a change to the call. The button says "Finding regions…" first so the stall is announced rather than looking like a hang.
DarkRoom
A cross-platform, non-destructive RAW photo editor for Linux and Android.
Status: early. v0.1 is a remote library viewer — see docs/milestone-v0.1.md.

Building
Desktop:
cargo run -p darkroom-desktop
Android (containerised toolchain, see docker/android):
./docker/android/build.sh cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a build --release
Current state
Working: workspace, GPU context and compute pass, adaptive Slint shell, Android cross-compilation of the core crates.
Not yet working: the zero-copy display path. The build currently uploads frames through the CPU, which is exactly what ARCH §6.1 forbids — measured at 96% of frame time at 4K. Replacing it is spike S1, the project's highest priority.
cargo run -p dr-gpu --example bench --features readback
reproduces that measurement.
